New monitor advice

I need a new monitor, I have been using this POS 15 inch 9 year old packard bell standard issue for way too long now. I did have a nice 20 inch Samsung monitor but it broke and I fixed it then it broke again with a slightly different issue which I can fix for about 50 quid but its still gonna be 4 year old if I do. SO I think its best to buy new.

I just scrapped my old car for £150 so something along those lines would be great doesnt have to be under or exact there is a bit of leeway.

The response time isn't an issue. You fail to account for input lag. The benq has ~13ms of input lag. The dell has ~4ms of input lag.

So the benq will have ~15ms latency while the dell will have ~11ms latency. Not to mention the dell is an IPS panel (as opposed to the TN in the benq) and will have better viewing angles and color accuracy. Granted the Benq has an "instant" mode which basically halves the input lag.

If your budget now allows for a 221 pound monitor, so be it. But there is nothing wrong with that dell.

Could you recommend me any monitor calibrating softwares? With the samsung settings i cant calibrate the monitor so that it looks good. My monitor calibration is set at its best but looks actually bad. Especially different shades of dark colours display horribly.

Software?

You need certain hardware to properly calibrate your screen and that costs quite a bit of money (possibly more than the monitor itself)
